Which article are you evaluating?
Visual communication

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because visual communication is essential to more accurately convey a message to an audience, just as an understanding of linguistic functions are essential to convey a message in most situations. Therefore, I believe that having a well written page on visual communication would benefit readers who are interested in improving their communication skills.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article was relevant to the topic of visual communication. The beginning of the article was concise and clearly introduces each topics the article discusses in later sections; however, it seems there are some topics that are introduced that are not discussed thoroughly later in the article. The information presented seems to be current and there does not seem to be any notable equity gaps. The article is written in an unbiased way with no notable viewpoints that are either underrepresented or overrepresented. After checking a few randomly selected links within the references section, it seems that at least one of the links presented provide an error when trying to view the original material. I am not certain as to whether the error regarding the link is permanent as it seems to be the website not providing a stable connection currently, but regardless it is still an issue that should be addressed. Some other improvements that can be made are verifying the citations that are flagged at the top of the article. Besides those problems, the other sources seem to be reliable and generally unbiased. Within the talk page, the sections discuss the source credibility, the sections within the main page, and a request for other users' opinions on a specific type of diagram. This article is rated as a Start-Class article and is part of three WikiProjects: Graphic design, Media, and Systems.
